Musical West Side Story

Date: Nov 23-Dec 6－7:30 pm

Venue: Shanghai Culture Square

Price: 200-1,000 yuan

rovocative finger snapping of street gangs, Puerto Rican girls' whirling skirts on New York City's flat roofs, derelict West Side backyards－just a few notes of Leonard Bernstein's world-famous score, featuring songs such as Maria, Tonight, Somewhere, America and I Feel Pretty, immediately evoke these images of West Side Story. At its 1957 Broadway premiere the musical redefined an entire genre both musically and in terms of dance. The genius of its four creators－Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim－produced a piece whose great artistic quality remains unquestioned to this day. The film version won ten Oscars and brought the masterwork to an audience of millions just a few years later. Today West Side Story stands unchallenged as the No. 1 of American musical theater－daring, realistic, and as relevant as on the day of its premiere.
